ANKARA (Reuters) - Iran’s supreme leader called on Muslim nations to unite against the United States, saying Tehran would never yield to “bullying,” state television reported on Thursday.

“The Iranian nation has successfully resisted bullying attempts by America and other arrogant powers and we will continue to resist... All Muslim nations should stand united against America and other enemies,” Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said.

Iran’s top authority criticized Trump for saying on Tuesday some countries in the Middle East “wouldn’t last a week” without U.S. protection.

“Such remarks are humiliation for Muslims ... Unfortunately there is war in our region between Muslim countries. The backward governments of some Muslim countries are fighting with other countries,” Khamenei said.

For overthrowing their democratically elected government in 1953.

"The 1953 Iranian coup d'état ... was the overthrow of the democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh in favour of strengthening the monarchical rule of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi
orchestrated by the United Kingdom and the United States."

That doesn't mean we roll over when it comes to Iran's support of terrorism. We have to keep our eyes on the ball. But it does mean we accord Iran the respect due a member of the community of nations. Remember - the US has been supporting freedom fighters/terrorists for decades. The problem has been that everytime we have a president who stands up for human rights and honest relations with other nations (like Jimmy Carter did), the next Republican president re-sets us back to zero.
